The Government of Canada by Robert MacGregor Dawson (Third Edition, Revised)

The item is a printed book, specifically the title page, appearing to be an academic or non-fiction work. The page exhibits an off-white or cream color, indicative of older paper stock that may have yellowed slightly with age. The typography is clear and crisp, utilizing a serif font for the main title and author information, and a sans-serif font for the publisher details at the bottom. The title, 'THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA', is prominently displayed in large, dark characters at the top, followed by 'ROBERT MacGREGOR DAWSON' as the author. Below the author's name, his credentials 'M.A., D.Sc. (Econ.)' and affiliation 'Professor of Political Economy, University of Toronto' are visible, though some text is partially obscured by the image quality. Notably, the book is identified as a 'THIRD EDITION, REVISED', suggesting multiple printings and updates, which could imply its significance or continued relevance. A distinct crest or seal, likely associated with the University of Toronto, is centrally located on the page, adding a touch of academic formality. The publisher is clearly stated as 'THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO PRESS', located in 'TORONTO'. The paper shows no apparent tears, creases, or major stains, suggesting it is in good, preserved condition for its age. The overall aesthetic is clean and professional, typical of academic publications from the mid-20th century. The visible binding edge on the left indicates it is an intact volume.
